It first started back in 2005 – two horror-loving friends with the same birthday decided to have a “different” kind of party for themselves. Fast forward eight years later: the event is now the world’s largest annual zombie “attack” walk. Every August 29th starting at 8:29 p.m. – no matter what!

The walk starts and ends in the Highlands area of Louisville, KY, along Bardstown Road. (This has always been my favorite part of the city.) Concerts and merriment start after 9:00 p.m. and continue until midnight. So, if you plan to be in or near the Derby City later this month, make sure you attend the zombie walk – even if you’d rather be a spectator or a “zombie hunter” instead. All are welcome.
